Louis Vuitton at Aranya — Louis Vuitton Spring 2023 Men's Show (2022)

Aranya's beachfront hosted Louis Vuitton's Spring 2023 men's runway show, staged on the sand with live music by Sleeping Dogs.

The venue

Aranya is a coastal community and resort area on the Gold Coast in Beidaihe. Its beachfront and open-air public spaces host cultural and seasonal programming; the shoreline is normally a leisure setting rather than a runway. The site combines sand, sea-facing edges and paths connecting the beach to the wider development, giving events a dispersed, outdoor layout rather than a single enclosed hall.

How the space was used

For the show, the beach was converted into a runway venue. Models moved across the sand along a defined show route, with the sea and sky as backdrop. Guests were seated facing the runway; the band Sleeping Dogs performed live as part of the presentation. The open setting shaped circulation and sightlines around the shoreline.

Why it works here

Aranya suits outdoor fashion presentations because its beachfront provides a clear natural stage and a destination setting away from city retail. The coastal environment supports runway formats that rely on landscape, open air and a contained guest audience, while the resort infrastructure can host an invited group.
